If President Biden mandates vaccines, South Dakota will challenge him
Good morning. Today we have a column for Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem about vaccine mandates. The governor says the state will challenge President Joe Biden in court if he mandates vaccines. We also have an editorial about the president but about what he can provide for Americans.
If Biden mandates vaccines, South Dakota will challenge him
By Gov. Kristi Noem
Last week, President Joe Biden claimed “this is not about freedom or personal choice” regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. The value of personal responsibility far outweighs government mandates, especially as we learn more about COVID-19, the vaccine and therapeutic treatment options. The Constitution grants public health authority to the states.
We will not be mandating COVID-19 vaccinations in South Dakota. The Biden administration has no business forcing vaccinations on the American people through executive decree or rule. Biden has no constitutional authority to do so.
Today's Editorial Cartoon
Biden knows what you want. But can he deliver?
By The Editorial Board
When President Joe Biden tried to express the national angst over the millions of Americans who have said no to the COVID-19 vaccines, he got pretty darn close.
"We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin," Biden said in unveiling federal mandates to force 100 million Americans to get a COVID vaccination. "Your refusal has cost all of us."
His words resonated for the majority of vaccinated Americans weary of a pandemic that should have ended already.
